1lurer. The fact that our opposition colleagues do not acknowledge the hundreds of cases of vote buying is, excuse me, at least absurd. These cases are not just one, not two, not a few dozen, but hundreds, and they speak of distorted fates. This was stated by Taron Chakhoyan, a member of the "Civil Contract" faction, during a press briefing, responding to the observation that there are cases related to vote buying, while representatives of "Strong Armenia" do not accept that any illegal actions or self-incriminating testimonies have taken place.
"In the hall of the National Assembly, these people declare, they say that distributing vote bribes is a disgrace. Well, excuse me again, dear people, stay away from your skirts, you have nothing to do with this vote buying at all. Well, how will you look into the eyes of our people? Our society, our citizens, our people know, right, who distributed the vote bribes. So when you say it’s a disgrace, can you imagine how our people will look at you? This is at least, excuse me, but unserious."
"No one has been held accountable for those distorted fates until now, and no one will. Those people were used for distributing vote bribes during the elections; they were disposable. Now these people have found themselves under criminal cases, behind bars, and they have already been marked by them," he said.
Regarding the opposition's claims that the government is repressing the opposition, Taron Chakhoyan responded: "A repressive government will never call on the opposition to go out into the streets. This is absurd. There is simply no such case, such phenomenon in the world."
